Review of Strong Hearts Cafe

Feb 2022: Cute little vegan cafe with a few gluten free options. I had the bacon and brussels salad minus the “bacon” which is tempeh (I’m sensitive to soy). Absolutely delicious! Staff was very helpful and understanding despite the growing line of customers. Definitely worth trying even if you’re a meat eater like me. Plus with it being a vegan place I didn’t have to ask about dairy!

May 2023 update: still very good. I’ve been here multiple times this past school year (my daughter just finished her first year at SU). The biggest difference now is when I tell them I need gluten free the staff now asks if I’m celiac. Also my oldest daughter has been a couple times with me and she has allergies to peanuts, tree nuts and sesame seeds. The staff pulled out an allergy chart to check if what she wanted was safe for her. They indicated the allergy on the order and requested gloves to be changed. My daughter really enjoyed her sandwich and there have been NO trips to the hospital. I’ve really been enjoying the sandwiches; yes they have gf buns. Now if only they can get a few gf desserts on the top shelf of their yummy looking dessert case it would be perfect!
